Ascender, Vol. 3: The Digital Mage Reviews
With, the third volume, "The Digital Mage" Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen continue their fantasy/sci fi/space travel/AI/space opera/homage to Star Wars, with the return of series favorite Driller the Killer (Robot) (and his faithful companion, Mizard the Wizard. (Queer) Telsa ...
I couldn't be bothered to go back and check, but it felt like all four issues collected here ended on the same kind of cliffhanger - reintroducing an old character unseen till now in the series. Bit lazy and predictable, that. I couldn't be bothered to go back and check, but i...
So. Much. Happens. Potential Spoiler Warning! Sorry, I can't talk about what I want to without at least hints of what happens in this one leaking out. If you haven't read this volume yet...well, go read it! Lemire is getting the band back together in a big way in...
Gonna be lazy and post my thoughts from issue #12 as it sums up my thoughts on this volume as a whole: This was way too short and quick, and I'm starting to feel like things are coming too easily and the conflicts and consequences aren't dire enough. I mean, I don't w...
I enjoyed yet another good installment in this series. The watercolor art is fantastic. ...
This series, swoon. I just can't wait for the next volume. Space travel, robots, vampires, magic, love, and family. I just have all the feels. Series starts with Descender and continues here in Ascender. Driller is a real killer... he's my favorite killer. This series, swo...
This was a really quick volume, but it left me very interested to see what's going to happen next. This was a really quick volume, but it left me very interested to see what's going to happen next. ...more ...
To quote Tom Petty, "The waiting is the hardest part," and waiting for volume four to drop is going to suck. Ascender delivers the goods! To quote Tom Petty, "The waiting is the hardest part," and waiting for volume four to drop is going to suck. Ascender delivers the goo...
We're finally getting back on track! Much better than volume 2. We're finally getting back on track! Much better than volume 2. ...more ...
Familiar faces return in all sorts of guises as this short four issue arc brings our two disparate groups into some totally new locales. I was very surprised to learn that this was only four issues, since Ascender and Descender before it have usually been 4 or 5, but given the cliffhan...
I feel so sorry for anyone who started Ascender without having read Descender. They must be SO lost. This volume has a lot of plots being juggled, as it reintroduces characters from Descender, extends the antagonist storyline a bit, and has two separate plots going for our two protago...
So good! Much more of a transition and I hate the cliffhanger at the end of this volume, but things are starting to "gel" for this arc and I'm here for it. Lemire leans a bit much on the deus ex machina here, but I'm willing to hold that judgment until this seri...
This book flew bye, looking back not too much happened. Wish it was a bit longer but the ending! Cannot wait for next one. ...
I really love this series but it was the least engaging of the three books. Not much happens, but I did end up somewhat confused about the number of different species/names/backstories etc. ...
I can't believe I'm caught up. That never happens to me with graphic novels and now I have to WAIT?! (view spoiler)[I am very glad that Effie came back to life. Her tech defeated the vamp virus! Mother is becoming... not mother? Her sister seems to be sort of in charge ...
Another amazing installment in this series. But where is the next one? ...
Really starting to feel like a continuation of the Descender series in the last two volumes, although I would love the new characters to be fleshed out as much as the old ones were! ...
The only honest drawback I can say for this volume, was that it was a lot shorter than I would have liked. Now with even more characters returning from the previous descender series, there?s nothing stopping this becoming my favourite comic of all time. Amazing art work, a fast paced...
This is a great return to form. Two separate stories but both kind of related to the bigger picture. Previous characters return ( Love driller haha). Dustin Nguyens artwork is awesome as always. Great cliffhanger ending ...
Action on several fronts as the Ascender/Descender series continues. Love the artwork, especially the watercolors. Fra! Fra! ...
This story is wonderful. Jeff Lemire seems to thrive in the weird and uncanny. I don't recall another of his stories with a set of characters that has gripped me this much. Usually with his stuff I'm in it for the plot and wonder what weird twist is ahead. This time, I really...
What an awesome book. The whole descender/ascender series has been great. My biggest complaints are that sometimes you just have to accept absurd things and the absurd explanation for them. Also while the watercolors have really grown on me over the course of this series, I often find ...
I like this world and this was my favorite installation so far of Ascender. Things are clipping along quickly, which I appreciate over the "let's see how many issues/pages/panels we can stretch an arc into" The art is awesome, as always. I like this world and this ...
The storytelling and artwork is the best of the series. ...
One of the best found family space operas in recent memory. Volume 3 covers Effie and Andy's daughter Mila's escape from Mother's vampires, and her ultimate reunion with the cast we've grown to love over the series. I especially enjoyed the evolution of the ...
The book description is a lie; this actually only covers issues 11-14, making this another Image release with only four chapters, grumble grumble. I know in this case it might be an issue of 2020 slowing chapters down but it still feels like a tease to have so little in a volume. ...
I continue to love this series. The art, the storytelling, all of it. ...
Still enjoying Lemire's narrative and Nguyen's art. What a great combination, and what a strong finish to this volume! Excited to see where this goes. Still enjoying Lemire's narrative and Nguyen's art. What a great combination, and what a strong finish to this volume! Exc...
A suitable continuation of the of the tale of Andy, Tim-21, and the gang with perpetually lovely art by Dustin Nguyen. This time with space vampires. ...- sketch-y watercolors. not exactly killer writing on the dialogue level. but I come back to it, enjoying the art and the story. ...
